Its a fat tune, shame the same cant be said for her!
Comment by Dan on September 07 12:22
same old,same old!
i hear a lot of sound machines,so dont think her voice can be all that!
Comment by clare smoker on September 07 12:38
same old same old, could be any one of a hundred manufactured female 'pop' artists, pleasant "ear candy", bland bland bland, one of those tracks that will be on in the gym endlessly
Comment by Frances White on September 07 12:41
Really catchy and current! Manages to sound like herself rather than a member of Girls Aloud!
Comment by Elle on September 07 12:42
Awful!!
Comment by claire on September 07 12:45
love this cheryl, well done, if all the songs are as good as this one, then your album should be a great success.
Comment by helen sparkes on September 07 12:50
Awful, awful, awful song!
God help us that the radio stations will be playing this continually [holds head in hands]
Comment by Beckerina on September 07 12:52
Very catchy,it will do well.
Comment by Jacqui on September 07 12:56
" we gotta fight - fight, fight, fight for this loooooveee" catchy but it isn't the best song I have ever heard in my life and it is better than the birdy song - probably be a hit though.
Comment by grumpybag on September 07 13:00
Awful, wouldn't buy it. Shame
Comment by TY on September 07 13:00
Bubblegum music!! Mechanical, crowded, makes you despair why really talented musicians struggle for a contract but this sort of stuff gets lifted no problem.
Comment by cargirl on September 07 13:05
Forgettable. I've been looking forward to her debut solo single but i'm afraid this has dissapointed me.
Comment by Beth McKenzie on September 07 13:07
A great song, catchy too, so I think it will be a hit for her. But I am sure fans will like anything she does at the moment. I wish her all the best in her solo career.x
Comment by Christine on September 07 13:14
Pretty terrible which is a shame. Also, that beat box on her shoulder looks soo 80s - very odd. I like Cheryl, so its a shame she's not got the right people working with her.
Comment by Helen on September 07 13:30
The song is not strong enough, nice voice but no real strengh or power, shame as really like her
Comment by Deborah on September 07 13:30
We've heard this before in so many different guises. Sorry, but it's awful and she sounds dreadful!
Comment by HelenG on September 07 13:31
i expected more. it sounds so tinkered with. nothing that can be done live. rubbish 1st attempt
Comment by annette on September 07 13:32
Why is she singing in an American accent??
Comment by Bell on September 07 13:34
very cheesy lyrics - but quite catchy and will probably do really well - she can't seem to put a foot wrong these days.
Comment by miss B on September 07 13:35
It terrible! cheesy lyrics and her voice is horrible! she really should stick with Girls Aloud.
Comment by janet on September 07 13:37
What a load of rubbish! Its a shame cos she has a great voice and is absolutely gorgeous. It just sounds like any other manufactured 'artist', so should do well!
Comment by tina brocklebank on September 07 13:37
dodgy lyrics that at times don't fit the music, slight error. however is pretty catchy and i think it will grow on me.
Comment by Olivia on September 07 13:43
well i think it is propa wiked keep it up cheryl cant wait to here your album . And i think you will do well love lizzy x
Comment by elizabeth on September 07 13:46
BORING!!!!!!
Comment by Paola on September 07 13:55
Average, and would not be given air play if it wasn't Cheryl Cole. Unfortunately for her, she should stick to what she is good at - being part of a good band and a brilliant judge. Full marks for having a go though.
Comment by Lyn Asquith on September 07 14:00
Meh - what a disappointment
Comment by Tracey on September 07 14:01
30 seconds of this was ENOUGH! Sync-pop went out with the arc!! BLAND!
Would like to see how she attempts this LIVE!
Forget it!
Comment by GDB on September 07 14:19
rubbish! what a shame...
Comment by cathrine Dal on September 07 14:25
Absolutely terrable, aways said her voice was not good even in girls aloud when she sang alone
Comment by Christine Tyers on September 07 14:28
Well thats not very impressive for a first solo song. Could be any of the manufactured female singers out there. Better stay with Girls Aloud if the rest of the album is as bad as that single!!
Comment by Katelynn on September 07 14:30
Expected better from Cheryl given all the professionals she has backing her and willing her to succeed. The girl needs gutsy tracks not love-sick pop trash. I'll be surprised if this even makes the top twenty. Good luck!
Comment by Evan on September 07 14:36
Utterly forgettable!
Comment by Dee on September 07 14:43
Very cheap.....no voice....and an awful accent......
Comment by sophia3 on September 07 14:46
Yawn!!!! I think her talents lie elsewhere, as per Mrs Beckham...
Comment by Dee on September 07 14:54
Not a fan to be honest. I also thought it was a bit bland and that she would've been better doing a feel good girlie song for her first solo track then branching out into something slightly different adterwards. I heard it this morning on the radio and I can't even remember how it goes just that I didn't think it was all that!
Comment by Dyson on September 07 15:07
What a shame she hasn't demonstrated some great talent that I'm sure she must have! Lets hope there is much more improvement on the rest of the Album as currently I wouldn't spend my money to increase her wealth or popularity.
Good luck Cheryl, you'll need it!
Expectations are high as your Judging some real talent.
Comment by Mandie on September 07 15:17
I really like it... I love our little geordie she's absolutely fab..and thats not an american accent its a northern accent and I luv it hinny.keep it up babes you are great !!!!!!!And a very natural beauty too ...Canna do any wrong in my eyes..
Comment by jacqui on September 07 15:29
She has her own sound and a good voice, although the music itself doesn't stand out from the crowd. I'm assuming Cheryl doesnt write her own material, so at least she can blame it on someone else (clearly, the person who writes everyone else's tracks).
Comment by Davina on September 07 15:29
Love Cheryl but....sounds like self-indulgent rubbish to me!
Comment by MON on September 07 15:38
She should stick with her band. I think they will all have better careers (and songs) together.
Comment by Helena on September 07 15:40
Pretty good, slightly bland. She needs to show off her vocal talents which I know she has. Great to know shes doing the singing career! Catchcy tune that will go straight to number 1!
Comment by Greg on September 07 16:21
If this is the best she can do - God help us when the other members of Girls Aloud go solo too!!! Cheryl's voice is awful, she killed the illusion of me thinking she had a high pitch on Girls - she's lucky to be a member of that group cos her voice doesn't carry at all!!! In this hype it's all voice machines doing the work!!!
Comment by Cate on September 07 16:26
If it does make it in the charts it's only because of who it is!
Comment by Victoria on September 07 16:31
great song, love cheryl, well done !
Comment by Angela on September 07 16:40
I absolutly LOVE cheryl cole.
Comment by Sarah on September 07 17:26
Sounds like any other catchy song and could be sung by anyone.
Comment by clare on September 07 17:32
How can that woman honestly sit behind that X-factor desk whilst spouting 'pearls of wisdom' after producing such tripe?!
Comment by Carys on September 07 17:38
I'm a big GIRLS ALOUD fan but i don't think this is gonna be a big hit???
Comment by George on September 07 17:38
Flat, uninteresting too much of the sound machine touch, she obviously needs help!!!
Comment by Jennie on September 07 17:53
I would like to hear her sing this live and then see what it sounds like
Comment by Jackie on September 07 18:02
Very dull and forgettable
Comment by cathy on September 07 18:07
disappointed - i was expecting something more dance like and powerful, but her voice isnt strong enough i dnt think. shame.
Comment by Emma on September 07 18:18
i love cheryl and girls aloud, i think cheryl is ace and this is a certain number 1!!!!!!! keep up the hard work cheryl, xx
Comment by chloe goodman on September 07 18:27
Not bad - catchy and can imagine singing along in my car. Not exactly mind blowing though, which is a shame.
Comment by Alice on September 07 18:43
Absolutely terrible... No decent music, no decent voice.
Comment by Carolina on September 07 18:46
They have used a computer programme to get her voice to be in tune and do the little wibbly bits. Can't she sing?
Comment by caz on September 07 19:01
clazz song cheryl
Comment by jake on September 07 19:10
Just terrible-horrible voice to go with her horrible personality-trying so blatently to compete with Leona and Alexandra Burke-it reminds me of a naff Eastern European eurovision entry from the 80's-there will be no cracking America with this garbage.
Comment by Ben on September 07 19:22
Deffs a miss, i think its awful. Which is ashame because i really like her. Not catchy at all and sounds exactly the same as most other female singers. What a let down
Comment by Ariane on September 07 19:27
rubbish....how ca she comment on x factor when her song is rubbish
Comment by john on September 07 19:57
oh dear..... as proved again when a manufactured group do 'their own thing' (think spice girls) the group are greater than the sum of their parts.............
Comment by lucy on September 07 20:34
nothing special, I thought her first solo effort would be better, she should stick with the group, going solo won't win her awards if this is the best sound!
Comment by angelicjulie on September 07 20:40
A real disappointment! Where's her voice? She should stick to Girls Aloud where nadine and Sarah do most of the great work!!!
Comment by Navdip Bains on September 07 20:56
rubbish
Comment by Aisling on September 08 00:30
I'm really loving the new song by Cheryl Cole - as a fan of both her and Girls Aloud I had really high expectations and I wasn't disappointed. It was really catchy and I can't wait to hear more from Cheryl. Great song & a great artist.
Comment by Becky on September 08 01:24
Bit slow to start, but her lyrics are truthful, so that helps it along nicely. Good job, Cher ;D
Comment by Jenn on September 08 02:15
It could be anybody singing. The voice isn't distinctive enough.
If it hadn't been mentioned who was singing, I wouldn't have guessed.
Comment by geminiglen on September 08 10:33
This single is so bland, I want to stab my ears. Cheryl is rapidly turning into the Posh Spice of Girls Aloud.
Comment by Dawnie on September 08 10:41
I love Cheryl cole but I didn't like it at first... its a grower though!
Comment by Sarah on September 08 11:12
Yawn!!! Yawn!!! Oh Dear me, same old, same old, style of boring background singers filling up the space. Was Cheryl singing on this recording? At least you could recognise Susan Boyle singing when she sang without the need for all that kind of backup and in addition she possessed a good voice. VERY important and necessary if you intend to SING.
Comment by Ian Downey on September 08 13:06
Love this song. She is amazing and cant wait to hear the album. Keep up the good work Cheryl.
Comment by cheryl on September 08 13:22
Blah!!!!! bland boring, couldn't sing in girls aloud and has now proved it to the rest of the world.
Wouldn't waste time or money on it
Sounds old fashioned but as she's getting on a bit not surprising should stick to her day job but oh no she's not very good at that either
best hope she can carry on being a dressed up wag so false how can anyone take her seriously
Comment by susan brown on September 08 15:47
Its A sick tune she sounds proper nice as always. Cheryl Cole Is The Best. Iv Already Got The Song Fight For This Love.
Comment by Naz on September 08 18:00
yawn...i could not finish listening to the entire song...got bored...
Comment by christine on September 08 23:04
dont like it at all. If she was on x factor i would not let her through to the next round!
Comment by lesley on September 09 09:27
i love chery and this song
Comment by reece on September 09 20:10
this tune is wicked...me and my gal pals were dancing round the room to it!!!
xxx
Comment by sophie on September 09 20:28
I love Cheryl but not keen on this song! hpe the rest of the album is better!
Comment by katy on September 10 12:37
love it , going to be a massive number 1 !!!1 you rock girl xx
Comment by ric on September 10 16:28
weaker than i expected ,I think its a grower though
Girls Aloud have much better songwriters .Dont split cheryl youre better as a band .The chorus is poor and self indulgent .Wish you better luck with the album as youre a lovely girl .
Comment by Kevin Eccleston on September 11 11:19
God, it's awful.
Comment by sarah on September 11 14:41
sounds like something i have heard before, yeah that's it, sounds like that Akon song "I wanna make love na na na na " that one. Load a crap and she went all the way to the states to make this with WILL I AM from the black eyed peas?? she can't sing, too much fakeness goin on in the background. I bet she couldn't sing it live!
Comment by lisap on September 11 14:55
Loving this track, hope all the tracks on the album are as good as this one x
Comment by David Bradbury (D-Vaknall) on September 12 12:28
i think it's a great song! I loved gilrs aloud and i love cheryl! i dont know why people dont like it?
go cheryl!!!
Comment by zoe on September 13 14:21
....whats all the fuss about,if shes got talent then im gonna be the next prime minister!
Comment by janet on September 13 19:01
sounds the same, but fair play for trying!
Comment by aimee hunt on September 13 20:47
she sounds like a wannabe j lo!!!
Comment by sarah on September 13 21:45
great hit its catchy and its great to sound like her and that is based on her marrige cant wait 4 her 2 perform on the x factor
big thumbs up well done chez
Comment by lauren on September 14 14:24
I was unsure whether i love or hate cheryls new song, i think it's a little dry and it hasn't got me excited yet but if i listen to it more, i might like it. you can tell it's cheryl cole singing,due to her accent, but I reckon Nadine would do a much better job, as she is the better singer of all the girls, no offence to Cheryl trying, but it's just a little weird!!
Comment by Katharine Bisset on September 19 11:56
Thought she could off done much better. Its a real shame.
Comment by Emma Roberts on September 19 12:47
Well i love it! I think it's fab. It's nice that she has remade herself for a solo career instead of carrying on with the same poppy feel girls aloud had. It's really catchyyyy!
Comment by Rachael on September 19 17:58
that is one class sony cheryl your a great singer
Comment by mary on September 19 18:32
i think this track is amazing.. it shows that cheryl obviously has talent if she can produce something like this...love the way she has related it 2 her own experiance...gooo chezza!!
Comment by kirst on September 21 20:52
It's ok.. not a number 1 hit. She hasn't got the greatest voice, but who has these day? not my cup of tea.
Comment by Claire weaver on September 22 11:07
love it,not normally my thing but very catchy and chirpy .solid sound/tune well done cheryl!
Comment by laura on September 22 15:30
Complete Rubbish!!!!
Comment by Danielle on September 23 11:33
this song is terrible, i actually like the girl, she seems like a down to earth kind of girl, but the sing and her voice is horrible, i think she has got one of the worst voices in girls aloud, i think she has mad a massive mistake going solo, she sounded alot better in girls aloud, probably because her voice got lost amongst the more powerful singers, she probably has alot of fans so the song with sell loads, i just hope she doesn't disappoint alot more of her other fans, sorry.
Comment by kim on September 23 13:27
Boring!!! so plain and typical, she could have done so much better!
Comment by kay on September 23 16:05
no good, she can't sing!!!
Comment by faria on September 24 21:49
this song is ace. Dunno why alot of the comments on here are negative! whats that all about? can't fault it,better then most of the tripe out there at the mo!! shes class an don't do trash!!:)
Comment by noo on September 25 18:25
Just so disappointing! She is a dynamite person but this single lets her down. It highlights the fact that unfortunately needs to be part of a girl band to support her vocals. This single does more harm to her ability than builds her up...
Comment by Con on September 26 13:06
I think its a really great song, also she is a great singer and is very talented. Defo a hit :)
Comment by Emily Thomas on September 26 21:49
Fresh and beaty. She's got a great voice for this style and is beautiful enough to hold her own!
Comment by k on September 26 22:08
I'm liking this XD
Comment by Rachel x on September 28 16:20
I love this song and thing its well cool.But i hope and want the rest of girls aloud will stay together even though Cheryl has become solo!!!
Comment by alice roberts on September 28 18:02
Well to me it just sounds like a candy rip off of K-ci and JoJo all my life but sure she will do well.
Comment by Tracy on September 29 13:32
Dreadful, flat, boring, three words to aptly sum it up for me - it'll probably go far in the charts as that seems to apply to most of the sound-a-likes in it at the moment.
Always think it's a shame when artists in successful bands feel the need to split away from them for no reason, especially when it's to produce rubbish like this!
Comment by Jenny on September 29 14:37
I think that this is an awesome song I love it, one of the best songs I have heard in totaly ages, i think she should be really proud of herself with that 1!!!!!! Cheryl Cole is the best, and I sooooo cant wait 4 her solo album 2 come out, I will defo be buing it :0
Comment by Kirsty on September 29 15:13
Her song is ACE, I Love It!! Mwah x
Comment by Jade Hall on October 05 08:06
I think it is brilliant! It sounds like her and not another girls aloud song!
Comment by Coll on October 05 12:53
its the best song ever. i love it. made me feel strong ad happy. its a great song.
Comment by jean on October 05 23:03
luvin the new single
think u got the dance moves perfect the back ground tune is brilliant 4 are new dance rutene lyxxxx
Comment by Jacqueline Grenney on October 08 15:28
Think she should stick to just Girls Aloud
Comment by richard on October 16 18:16
Cheryl Cole's such a sweetie, but the song sounded rather 80s and bland, and the dance and costumes on X Factor were very derivative of Janet Jackson. Her voice wasn't bad, but then it wasn't really anything, just mixed in with all the other noise. Hopefully some of her other tracks will be better...
Comment by Martha on October 18 20:15
gosh cherly can sing
Comment by samantha on October 18 21:16
Easy to slag her off but wheres everybody elses singles ? Give the woman a break! i for one love the song not just for the track but also the lyrics! Well done cheryl
Comment by wayne on October 19 04:10

Comment by lukeeyyyy on October 25 20:40
It is definately a hit.I saw her performance on X factor , where parts of it were assisted. But most of it was sung live by her. I just loved it. The song as well as her live performance ... She is one down to earth girl with loads of surprises .... good ones...
Comment by Aditi on October 27 18:59
I think she is amazing she got to voice and looks and i can't stop listening to her new song i am her number one fan oxoxx

Comment by hannah child on November 11 09:24
i love cherly she is the best
Comment by dervilia.lavery on November 20 13:20
Cheryl might be a 'lovely' girl, but she cannot sing solo, her voice is very very very weak, you have to strain to try and hear it at all. definitely not a solo voice. Just listen to how weak it is...awful......come on cheryl really sing out loud so we can hear you properly. So we can ACTUALLY hear your voice, if you have one, I have me doubts, stick with girls aloud......overall, much better.
